    I miss my old 1992 Accord. Should have kept it instead of selling it when I got my 2012 Civic.

    Even with the weird start issue, turns out it was probably just a bad clutch safety switch that somehow multiple mechanics missed… Had the exact same issue come up with the brand new Civic.

    Oh yeah. A car shows your social status and you want to impress others. If you drive an expensive car, of course women will want to be your girlfriend.

    I wonder what his father drives? Did he also give his mother cookies because he didn’t have the correct car to impress?

      I mean it IS true, but you don’t want those women anyway.

      Drive a shitbox and the women who still like you will have much better personalities.

      Not sure what the equivalent is when you reverse the genders. Put as little effort into your appearance as possible for the first date? Idk. I think superficial men judge women by their appearance more than their wealth.

      But I also think the mom in this exchange was joking

    “you need to prove your worth because you don’t waste your money on bullshit. Also, I’m a terrible mother”

        Thats a turbo right? Tbf I didn’t know Honda had turbo engines on their civics.

        I had a 2008 (Hatchback) 1.8L VTEC and loved it. (2.2L was never imported to Norway by the importer because of high pollution tax) Stiff suspension, sort of bucket seats and low profile tires.

        You in the US? Is the 1.5L turbo the same as in EU?
